Beatrix Potter Gallery, Art museum in Hawkshead, England.
The Beatrix Potter Gallery occupies a 17th-century stone building where original watercolors and illustrations from her children's books are displayed in rotating exhibitions.
The building served as the law office of William Heelis, Beatrix Potter's husband, and received grade II listed status in 1970 for its historical significance.
The gallery presents Potter's artistic process through detailed sketches and watercolors that became the foundation for her renowned children's literature publications.
The National Trust maintains this exhibition space with changing displays each year, offering visitors insights into Potter's connection to the Lake District region.
Due to humidity concerns affecting artwork preservation, the gallery closed in 2023, with the collection relocating to Hill Top, Potter's former residence nearby.
